I'm a very proud family member of a US Marine. Prior to his enlisting I was quite ignorant about the military in general and the family's of military specifically. What I have been surprised and thankful to have found along the way is that the USMC, probably more so then other branches due to it's smaller numbers, is a family. I have met many wonderful people who share their knowledge, offer their support and I have tried to reach back and do the same for others. This blog has come out of the need I have to help others and also, maybe more so, let the general public know that it's not just the Soldier, Airmen, Sailor or Marine who's life is changed drastically, but the family who support them are changed as well. This is a world which I did not know existed and I have found that I actually have thanked my nephew for bringing me to it. I would not have found these cherished friends and this entree into an important, yet small, portion of our American society without the choice that he made.
OH HELL YEA!!!! Welcome Home!
